Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When we touch the brakes, from starting position or when in motion, the electrical components in the dash flash and flicker or turn off, the headlights turn off, there is a clicking noise in the doors, the windows won't roll up or down, the AC turns off, the radio turns off, and you can't switch gears (gear shift won't move). I'd need to upload a video for you to see it. It always happens when using the brakes and has been happening for over a year.”
